Setting permission levels for a user


You have the ability to assign different permission rights to certain Users for various modules in your system without giving them Administrative rights to the rest of the site. To do this, you will use Permissions.

To change the Permissions level for a user:

  1. Search for the User.
  2. Click the Edit Permissions (Edit Permissions) in the "More Options" dropdown menu to the right of the edit link in their user record.  
  3. Select a Permissions Level for this user for the different modules that are available.
  • Read Only
    • can view all active pages regardless of the allow view checkboxes
  • Editor
    • can add pages
    • can view all pages (as long as status =1...status detail can be anything)
    • can edit or delete any page
    • when adding or editing they can set the title, content, category, subcategory, allow view checkboxes, allow edit checkboxes, log page views, email a friend, rate this, contact form, help file, allow comments
    • they do *not* have access to syndicate, user group permissions, status, statusdetail, owner, or alternate editors
  • Administrator
    • gives the User full admin rights to all pages

Click Submit when you are done to save these changes.

**You can also assign rights to an entire User Group in one step by Viewing the User Group and clicking Admin: Edit Security Permissions for Group Members. This is a one-time application of the permission selected. In other words, new users added to this group will *not* inherit these permissions. Individual records can be adjusted using the procedure above.
